Kuala lumpur: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has emphasized the need for ministries and government-linked investment companies (GLICs) to evaluate the effectiveness of high-impact initiatives under the Bumiputera Economic Transformation Plan 2035 (PuTERA35).

According to BERNAMA News Agency, during the first Bumiputera Economic Council (MEB) meeting of 2026, Anwar highlighted the importance of ensuring that the implementation of initiatives is complementary and not overlapping. He stated that continuous analysis is essential to prevent complacency, which includes merely listing initiatives without assessing their actual impact and identifying potential areas for improvement. The MEB has comprehensively reviewed the implementation progress and high-impact initiatives under PuTERA35.

The meeting also acknowledged the ongoing implementation of initiatives by GLICs, which support the Bumiputera economic empowerment agenda in areas such as property development, entrepreneurship, talent development, and social initiatives. Anwar expressed confidence that with a more integrated and structured approach, the initiatives under PuTERA35 will continue to benefit various segments of society and achieve the desired outcomes for the prosperity of the Bumiputera economy and the nation overall.
